I just realized that it’s been about 25 years since I’ve been to Monterey Bay…I should go again.

Not yet! They still haven’t quite finished repairing the damage from the last time. I mean, you really shouldn’t have ridden your pet kraken around the place.

Also, the lasers mounted on the otters still aren’t working correctly. Well, actually, the lasers are working just fine, but the otters seem to think anyone with a beard or a kraken is you and open fire.

Among so many other tells, the white knight “they’re still not going to fuck you weak bitches” bullshit is a giveaway that the MRAs, PUAs, and other skidmarks don’t fully believe their own evo-psych bullshit.

Remember boys, there are two motivations to men, as you like to trot out: Sex and violence.

The reason I’m a gender traitor is not because I’m interested in getting laid, it’s that other easily trotted out trope about Real Men™—I desire violence, and dominating fuckheads, at least verbally, is how I legally fulfill that desire.

Oh yeah, go see; they make changes every now and then. Plus the Cal Academy/Steinhart has that new um medium-something octopus that doesn’t quite have an official name yet and lives long enough to lay several clutches of eggs.

Why do you guys have to start planning this just when I’m about to move from the beautiful Monterey Bay to Hell (also known as Texas)? My dear hubby has been stationed in Monterey for the last three years, and it is the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen, except for Santorini.
If you ever set up a Pharyngula day at Monterey Bay Aquarium, I may have to fly there. For me, it will be a great excuse to get out of Texas.

UBC researchers have discovered two new symbionts living in the gut of termites, and taken the unusual step of naming them after fictional monsters created by American horror author HP Lovecraft.

The single-cell protists, Cthulhu macrofasciculumque and Cthylla microfasciculumque, help termites digest wood. The researchers decided to name them after monstrous cosmic entities featured in Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos as an ode to the sometimes strange and fascinating world of the microbe.
